Wow. That's two hate-ons (okay, I exaggerate) for the Suits. I don't think I've ever noted a suit worn ironically in real life, but have hotted up for more than one man wearing them.

I mean, dear Lord.

::goes back to her corporate sellout ways::

I don't hate suits across the board (although I don't work with people who wear them), but about 90% of real people who wear suits wear them indifferently, with poor fit, poor tailoring, and unimaginative color/texture choices. In a word, they all look alike.

Which is not a way to be sexy. George, OTOH, can afford a tailor.

Although I find those men who wear velvet frock coats to Hollywood function often laughable, I also laud their trying out something other than the standard penguin suit.

You really can't judge a person by his outfit, you know?

Nothing to do with the outfit. Put a creative guy who can make me sing and dance as he plays killer music in an Armani three-piece and I'm right there.

But I HAD a corporate hottie chewtoy for a brief affair in the early eighties. Built like a porn star, Mister Big Money International Business Guy, and dear god WHAT a fucking bore. If I don't care about what he finds important, I don't care what he's wearing - I won't find him hot.

Daniel Day-Lewis wore a frock coat in 1989, when he got the oscar for best actor.

I had to have my tongue surgically removed from the screen.

Doesn't that cover 90% of people who wear clothes?

Harlouette, gentil Harlouette, Harlouette, gentil plumerie...

Curse you, Red Baron.

Well, presumably when you're wearing an outfit that costs $200 (and you're a man, where the economy of fashion is far smaller on average), you ought to look spiff, or anyway spiffier than if you were in khakis and a t-shirt.

But that's a function of him being boring, right, not of his job per se. I mean there are plenty of boring musicians out there, leather pants notwithstanding. When the BF worked for William Morris and had to wear suits, he didn't become less interesting than when he was working at the Public and wearing jeans and he didn't become suddenly interesting again when he left th that job and stopped wearing suits--he was the same awesome guy throughout.

I'm perfectly willing to peel that suit off George Clooney check out his, er, indifference....

Seriously, I love a well-fitted suit on a man who knows how to wear it. When I say corporate type, though, I'm talking about the culture of Big Business. Doesn't turn me on.

Of course, neither do cowboys. And emphatically neither do uniforms of any flavour. I do not love a man in uniform.

Probably. I just never hung out with any.
